About camel

Camel is a blogging platform written in Node.js. Its stated goal is to be fast, simple and lean. Posts are written in Markdown, with basic metadata stored in each file. It is neither a static nor a fully dynamic blogging platform: the first load renders a post to HTML, and the stored result is reused afterward. Setup is manual, using Node, npm and the repository.

Pricing is not clearly stated.

Key features

  • Markdown posts with basic metadata in each file
  • Rendered HTML cached after the first load
  • Basic templating for site header, footer and post header
  • Two RSS feeds, with link posts handled differently in each
  • Optional automatic posts to Twitter
  • Link posts and redirects
Watch out for
  • Manual setup with Node.js and npm
  • Some settings are changed in code, such as RSS parameters
  • Twitter posting needs a custom Twitter app
